Gut the roster until the Bulls are lottery-bad

Or at least take it apart piece by piece the way Derrick Rose’s body and greatness are being removed.

Rose underwent another knee surgery Monday. This one repaired the medial meniscus in his right knee. The Bulls said Rose is out for the season.

Rose was out all of last season while rahbbing from a surgically repaired torn ACL in his left knee. We can debate the stupidity of not listening to doctors and we can get angry again over the deceit Rose and his brother and his group pulled on the team and fans. But that’s not nearly as important as this:

He’s injury-prone and he’ll never be Derrick Rose again.

I don’t know how you can argue that. I believe Rose will work diligently to come back, but I don’t believe he’ll ever be DERRICK ROSE, ALL CAPS, again.

Which means this Bulls chapter is done.

Connect the dots, John Paxson and Gar Forman: Rose won’t be the same franchise player. This won’t be the same franchise. Blow it up right now.
